Reviews for Ibanez ASB140 Artcore Semi-Hollowbody Electric Bass
Feature: Had to special order the hardshell case because it is an odd ball bass shape.It took way longer to get one from Ibanez than it should have. Other than that,no problems.
Quality: Appears to be well made. I can't see it lasting 10 years of consistent gigging without problems,but for the short haul and if you have other options--it is fine. It is semi-hollow after all.
Value: Good value for the price. No complaints.
Desirability: This is one cool looking bass. Instantly drawn to it at the store. Chicks dig it too!!!
Sound: A unique sound for sure. Great for oldies and classic rock/pop stuff. Nice jazz vibe to it as well. I use it for low volume acoustic gigs and full electric band jobs and it works well in both settings. I found by lowering the pickup that more definition is given to the notes and a better apt to pick up the semi-hollow vibe.
Support: Outside of the protracted case wait--no need to deal with them.
Overall: Perfect bass for my oldies/pop cover gig.I would not buy another since I already have one,but this is a very cool bass and I can't see myself parting with it. Great value for the price.
